Monday morning suprise!

So this morning i got a little gift from my sister poo poo head. She went to the Rosebank flea market and came across these biscuits called beautiful biscuits. Apparently they make all different shapes, sizes and colours. She bought me this packet of heart ones. The look amazing and best of all they really delish.

Beautiful illustrations

How i wish i was an illustrator. I try but not hard enough so need to definatley start doodling a bit more. I came across this illustrator Anke Weckmann during my studies. She's a freelance illustrator who is based in London. Really awesome stuff. Take a look and get inspired :-)

Friday's Bake day

So i havn't posted anything for almost 2 weeks which is just shocking really. And i did tell myself that every Thursday i was gonna bake and bring it to everyone at work on friday. I have done it for the past 2 weeks but let me tell you it's not easy. I'm definately not the baker i thought i was ;-) But I just thought I'm gonna keep on trying- poor people at work. I have baked the past 2 weeks but the  first week my pics didnt come out great. Let me just tell you that i baked Vanilla cupcakes with nuttela buttercream icing. Honestly sounds better than it was but apparently they were good. Last week i then decided to bake snicker brownies. They weren't bad except the fact that i left them in a bit to long so they were a tad hard, so if you follow the recipe found on joybaker.com leave it in for the exact amount of time they say and not any longer. Lets hope i get better but here's a couple of pics so you can see the numminess of the brownies.

Will be posting up the recipe soon 

save the date

I havn't posted anything in a while but things have been a bit crazy with this public holiday. It's messed my week up completely but in a good way. Nothing better then a short week i tell you. I thought I'd just share this beautiful save the date that i received from one of my friends who's getting married. I think it's AMA-zing. All you need is LOVE!

Beautiful Dully's

So this weekend i went with my family (about 23 of us) to our farm out near Dullstroom for Christmas in July. On the Saturday the girls decided to mission off to Dullstroom for a whiskey festival or so we thought. Little did we know that when we got there it's not the type of whiskey festival that we were expecting. A couple of families around, a jumping castle need i say more so we hopped in the car and decided to try out the little bars in the town and maybe a little shopping. Below are some pics from the first pub we went to which was awesome, surprisingly serves one of the best long island iced teas I've ever had. nom nom.

After our drinks we missioned off to a couple of the shops and stopped over at another pub along the way. We went into this shop that sold so many different chocs and candy. I was in heaven. The whole store was just too amazing. Brought back so many memories from when i was younger begging my parents to take me there for their gums and koeksisters. I also came across these amazing little wallets called LASAKSAC for only R30. So i decided to buy 3 why i do not know they were just too pretty to be left alone ;-) So much to offer in Dullstroom you just have to go!

Monday morning suprise!

So i get to work this morning with a little suprise given to all of us who work at Get it magazine and Leisure Options. This was given to us because every year Leisure Options does a Best Of Joburg event which is where the readers of Leisure Options vote for the best restaurant, shop, DJ etc. and then there is a huge fancy shmancy event in October. So from now until October it is going to be complete madness in the office with all the organising, so our editor gave us a survival kit as you can see below. With a note saying:
